Verizon’s been building up over the last week to this supposedly major announcement to happen today. Today came and went, and the biggest thing to come out of that announcement? The iPhone. Naturally, there’s a sort of but not really appropriate level of fanpeopleism over it–it’s an Apple product; what’d … Read the rest
last week, the app store for Mac OS was released to the general public. No more than 24 hours later, it’s been cracked for the general public. You probably didn’t need a crystal ball to see this coming–try and lock something down, and you’re only challenging people to find ways … Read the rest

Sometime last week, a University of Ottawa student wound up needing to replace her iPhone. Someone decided she didn’t really need the one she had, so offered–rather forcefully–to take it off her hands. Two things make it headline worthy, according to 1310 news–one of which is untrue.
